sick clownfish/anemone

Hey there I've had an anemone and a percula clownfish in my 75 for almost 2 weeks now, and at first the anemone was fine and and open, It started to die and the clownfish still hung around in it, I have moved it and started dosing the tank with zooplex and it looks a lot better, but now the clownfish will not hang anywhere near, it just hangs out in the corner near the overflow box

I thought it might be dying but after looking at it, it seems perfectly healthy, could it be the anemone is too close to the wave2k machine, and the clown simply does not like the current?
 
I think the current would have to be very strong before it would discourage the clown fish from hosting the anenome. How long has it been moved? Clown fish are territorial and it may take a while for it to feel comfortable moving to the new location.

I would give it another couple weeks before you change anything, especially if the anenome is doing well where it is.
 
the wave2k does create a pretty strong current in the 75, but the clown never seemed to be bothered by it
